Core Values

Cal Coast Academy believes that the individual student is the guiding principle in the evolution of our school's educational programs. Our instruction is tailored to students' learning styles, and flexibility drives all of our aspects of academia. Our small class size facilitates individualism. Cal Coast Academy embraces change and innovation in the service of fulfilling our commitment to our students.

Cal Coast Academy believes that our students succeed in college and later in life because they are comfortable, valued, and unconditionally embraced academically, socially, creatively, and emotionally in our learning environment. This empowers our students to strive for excellence, to experience the value of hard work, to think critically, to collaborate productively, to express themselves thoughtfully, and to overcome the challenges they encounter in life.

Cal Coast Academy believes that the interconnectedness of countries and cultures and the profound impact of our collective actions on the world around us, highlight the importance of instilling in our students a sense of global awareness, humanity exercised through social responsibility, and environmental stewardship.

Cal Coast Academy cherishes the variety of perspectives, personalities, and passions that our students bring, and we believe that this diversity makes our school a community where each can learn from all.

Cal Coast Academy believes that talented, dedicated, and passionate teachers, who hold high expectations for all, engage in communication with parents, and find fulfillment in their work are the greatest resources we have to call upon in educating our students.

Cal Coast Academy is privileged to be educating the next generation of leaders, and we know that their success depends upon their honor and moral integrity, their capacity for managing complexity, their versatility and resolution, and their confidence in embarking on ambitious endeavors; all of this is learned given proper support and modeling.
